“….the balance, clarity and tone were perfectly realised, both by performers and by this remarkable new hall (Kings Place, London): outstanding in every respect”.
“…a vibrant virtuoso performance…”

“….one of the finest piano quartets performing today…”

After 26 years at the forefront of British chamber music, the Schubert Ensemble is firmly established as one of the world’s leading exponents of chamber music for piano and strings. Regularly giving over 50 concerts a year, the Ensemble has performed in 40 different countries. In the last eighteen months it has played in major concert halls in Europe and North America, including London’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdan’s Concertgebouw Hall, Oslo’s Konserthus and for the Coleman Chamber Series in California, and has given a four-concert Brahms series for BBC Radio3 at St George’s Bristol.

Last year the Ensemble celebrated its 25th Anniversary. The year began with a concert at the Barbican and a tour of the USA. It continued with a performance of six recent ensemble commissions at the South Bank. The Ensemble gave two further 25th Anniversary concerts at Wigmore Hall in November, concerts in Luxemburg and Turkey, and a four-concert Faure series at St Georges Bristol, which has recently been broadcast on BBC Radio 3. Plans for 2009 include the world premiere of a piano quartet by Johnathan Dove, several festival performances and a return visits to Moravia, Holland, Canada and the USA. They will also continue their residency at the Birmingham Conservatoire.

“The Schubert Ensemble are a marvellously gifted
ensemble, imparting their energy and lyricism to
anything to which they turn their expert hands”
